The housing market is out of control. 40 million Europeans struggle to pay rent or their mortgage. With the new special committee kicking off today, we begin parliamentary work to take care of this basic human right and help millions of families.
⚠️ For the first time since WWII, Germany’s conservatives (CDU/CSU) passed an anti-migrant motion with far-right AfD support. Friedrich Merz just shattered an 80-year firewall against far-right influence - for petty political gain. A dangerous signal. An unforgivable mistake.

Picture this: high-level officials come to investigate misuse of public money. They check into their hotel and while they’re out doing their jobs, their rooms are ransacked, all the info on their laptops is copied and their phones are bugged with spyware. Then, they’re followed everywhere they go,…
We need to invest in defence, yes. But security is a dignified pension, LGBT+ rights, women’s rights. Social rights. @iratxegarper on the Polish presidency of the Council.
Our democracies are under attack. We must protect freedom of speech while combating foreign interference and biased algorithms. We call on the European Commission to act against big techs and oligarchs who refuse to follow our laws on fighting disinformation and hate speech. Europe must take…
